If you are like most people, you depend on your mobile device. It is your connection to your friends, family, work and the world. Unfortunately, these handy electronics are also expensive to replace when something goes wrong. Whether your smart phone was dropped into a hot tub or your tablet tangled with the pavement, you may have a device that is no longer connecting you to anything. Before you toss it in the trash, consider the other options.

Repair vs. Replace

Only a few years ago, it was almost unheard of to have a mobile device repaired. It was usually cheaper just to buy a new one than to have it fixed. However, the popularity of these devices has created a new industry around inexpensive repairs. Many common problems such as cracked screens or water damage can be repaired, fast and affordably. Before opting to replace your broken device, it is worth researching whether it can be fixed first.

Sell Your Broken Device

There are times when a device is beyond repair, making it necessary to buy a new phone or tablet. The good news is that because of the evolved repair industry, even devices that are not working can still be worth money. Some of the same companies that repair mobile devices will also buy the device if you decide it is not worth it to pay to have it repaired. This will give you a little money to put toward your new purchase.

Next time you find yourself with a phone or tablet that is on the blitz, find a company that offers both repair and buying options. Some even offer mobile repairs, giving you a chance to have your device fixed right away, or sell the device for some quick cash.
